I need to change the oil in my W123, And there are a few thing you have probably missed.
#1 is that there is a VAST difference in the quality of various oil filters, get a quality one with the bypass media.
#2 is you need to change the o-rings on the oil filter housing stalk.
#3 is don't torque the drain plug to 40Nm even though that is the spec in the service manual, you will most likely either strip the oil pan, or your drain plug.

Well, that's all the exciting parts I suppose.
